I’m doing something tomorrow that flies in the face for tradition.  In fact doing this liberates me from the norm of the day.  It’s going to put a different spin on things.  We are going to have Crab Legs instead of Turkey tomorrow! 

Somehow this isn’t right…or is it?  Both animals are not much to contributing to society; both have legs and the first Thanksgiving meal was near the beach, so I’m betting that there was some crab involved.  Some families miss the issue, it’s not to have turkey, but to eat a big dinner together and share stories / laughter / and being thankful.

This leads me to church.  Someone challenged me onetime about changing church and said “outside of the gospel, what do you hold so tight in church that you could never see that going away?”  As I thought for a second I came up with an answer then he said “that is the area of church that will become a stumbling block one day to you.”  I walked away thinking about traditions man has created in church.  Traditions are not bad, but if we can’t let them go is that good?  Open questions for you…what are some of your favorite traditions at church?
